1. A method for reducing transmission timeouts by selectively transmitting additional packets from an intermediary device based on identifying transaction boundaries, the method comprising:

  • (a) receiving, by a device via a connection between a sender and a receiver, a first packet from the sender via the connection;

    (b) transmitting, by the device, the first packet to the receiver;

    (c) determining, by the device, that the first packet is the last packet of a transaction responsive to the first packet being smaller than a maximum packet size of the connection and the first packet being immediately preceded by at least one packet of the same transaction of the maximum packet size;

    (d) generating, by the device in response to the determination, at least one additional packet; and

    (e) transmitting, by the device after transmitting the first packet to the receiver, the at least one additional packet to the receiver via the connection.
